enlisting in the Air Force, where he performed in variety shows, as
both an emcee and comedian. While studying at San Francisco State
University, Schell’s interest in becoming a comedian grew and he soon
progressed to becoming a regular opening act in Las Vegas. Schell then
used his talents for television where he nailed the regular role of
Jim Nabors’ Marine bunkmate “Duke Slater,” on “Gomer Pyle: USMC” and
his acting career was born. Ronnie continued to perform in comedy
clubs for a time and made fine use of his gifts as a voice artist on
TV, radio, films, commercials and Hanna-Barbera cartoons. Currently
Schell lives in Los Angeles where he served as the honorary mayor of
Encino.
Kim Thomassen: Comedian Kim Thomassen was raised in Minneapolis,
Minnesota and knew from an early age his calling was to perform
